"Please calm down. The egg is absolutely worthy of the black tea." Yuan Zhou said calmly and indifferently.
Looking at the unforgiving manner of the grandpa, Yuan Zhou felt like cursing in his heart. He had been wronged. The tea was used by the system. Even he himself had never tasted it. Now, he was risking his life just to sell vegetables.
Yuan Zhou felt that he had been punished by the system.
The grandpa was irritated by Yuan Zhou's seemingly indifferent words. He said straightforwardly, "Little brat, come out. Today, I will teach you how to not waste."
While saying that, the grandpa rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush forward. He only needed to grab something to jump over the table and beat up Yuan Zhou. Fortunately, Vice Division Chief Li reacted quickly and stopped him.
"What's wrong? Let's talk it out."
"Talk it out. You are not young anymore. Don't you drink tea?" The grandpa pulled out his clothes angrily.
"Speaking of which, the strong orchid fragrance with a hint of sugar, is it Keemun Black Tea?" Vice Division Chief Li was quite experienced in tasting tea. As a civil servant in China, how could he not know how to taste tea?
"Excuse me." The division chief drank up the last mouthful of broth in the bowl and said to the grandpa seriously and angrily. Then, he picked up the small plate and began to observe the Herbal Tea Egg in it.
"What's wrong?" The people beside him scratched their ears and cheeks curiously.
"I think the Herbal Tea Egg cooked by Boss Yuan is probably not simple." Someone said affirmatively.
"Nonsense. Look at the three old men. They don't smell anything special, except that it smells oddly fragrant." A person who didn't know how to taste tea said straightforwardly.
"It's nothing special. The Keemun Black Tea is not ordinary." A seemingly knowledgeable voice suddenly chimed in.
Even the chattering of the onlookers behind couldn't affect Division Chief Lin's observation.
After a long time
Division Chief Lin set down the plate and heaved a sigh. "The young master used the Keemun Black Tea, right? The color and pure fragrance, as well as the feeling of honey, shouldn't be wrong."
"What do you think? Isn't this a reckless waste of God's gift? Using such good tea to make Herbal Tea Eggs?" the grandpa said and showed signs of going berserk again.
In fact, everyone in the shop who knew a little about tea wanted to beat Yuan Zhou to death. Keemun black tea was one of the three most fragrant black teas in the world.
Among the three most fragrant and famous black teas in the world, there were Qimen Black Tea from Mount Huangshan in Anhui Province, Darjeeling Black Tea from India, and Uva from Sri Lanka.
"Yes. Among all the Keemun black teas, only freshly picked spring teas can have such a honey-like taste and elegant orchid-like aroma." Yuan Zhou stated his purpose of choosing this tea with certainty.
"You know tea, yet you still waste it like this?" The grandpa felt that he was too well-mannered. Today, it was time to put down his pride and beat him up. If Yuan Zhou didn't know about tea, it would be better. But now, he clearly knew the value of Keemun black tea, yet he still said that. It really made the grandpa's liver hurt.
"If I had to say who I admire, it would definitely be Boss Yuan. Keemun black tea can be used to cook Herbal Tea Eggs." The onlookers said quietly.
"I suddenly feel … 888 RMB should at least add a zero … It's really a special price."
"Boss Yuan, if you don't show off, we can still be friends."
"Exactly. Even if Keemun black tea isn't produced in Likou, Shanli, and Pingli areas of Qimen, it's still very expensive. I admire you. "Now, he also wanted to beat Yuan Zhou up.
"Oh my god, Keemun black tea, my heart hurts so much!"
"Don't touch me. My liver hurts."
"Little brother, you are wrong. Boss Yuan is using the spring tea from Likou area." Division Chief Lin took the Herbal Tea Egg and said with a complicated mood.
Division Chief Lin's mood was probably that he had spent a lot of effort to buy something to taste, but Boss Yuan bought a big bag and ate it casually. Moreover, he even threw it away when he couldn't finish it. The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he was.
"Yes, that's right. Only good tea can bring out the best taste of the Herbal Tea Egg." Yuan Zhou said primly.
"Screw your Herbal Tea Egg. Give me the rest of your black tea. I'll buy all of them." Hearing the painful words of Yuan Zhou, the grandpa felt his heart hurt.
"I'm sorry. I don't sell tea here." Yuan Zhou refused him without any hesitation.
"Just tell me how much it is. But I know the market price. The best spring tea costs about 3,000 RMB per tael. I'll pay 3,600 RMB." The grandpa didn't hesitate when he offered the price.
Yuan Zhou didn't feel anything in his heart, but his liver trembled a little. He quickly calculated the price in his mind. 36,000 RMB for one catty and 360,000 RMB for ten catties, which equaled to half a month's net profit.
With his liver trembling, Yuan Zhou said coldly, "I'm not selling it."
"Why don't you listen to me? It's really a waste to make the Herbal Tea Egg with this tea," the grandpa said anxiously.
The onlookers felt that the grandpa really loved tea. Didn't they see that the grandpa had almost become a lunatic? He requested Yuan Zhou to sell the tea to him in various ways just so that the tea wouldn't be wasted.
Yuan Zhou had no choice but to say, "You taste the Herbal Tea Egg first and you'll understand."
"Grandpa, I think this young man really won't sell it." Division Chief Lin also started to persuade him after he had calmed down.
"Exactly. Forget it." Vice Division Chief Li followed and said.
"Sigh. I know. But I really don't want to give up. I didn't even manage to buy the spring tea this year. The reason is that the output is too low. Most of the tea was ordered by someone last year and the rest were sold out before they were even warmed up. It's so hard to buy them." The grandpa sat on the chair dejectedly.
"Exactly. Spring tea is originally hard to buy. Who would have expected that I couldn't even get one this year?" Division Chief Lin said with the same feeling.
Looking at the several people sighing and groaning there, Yuan Zhou just kept silent. What he said was just the ordinary tea, but the tea provided by the system was even more abnormal. Not only the place of origin of the tea, but also the time of picking and even the people to pick the tea were all strictly regulated.
For example, the tea picked by the system this time was a virgin girl who had just turned 18 years old and had pretty eyes and eyebrows. In order to maintain the purest appearance of the tea leaves.
Regarding that, Yuan Zhou just wanted to say "Ho Ho".
Seeing the farce come to an end, the customers then started to line up and wait for the dishes as usual. Of course, discussions were inevitable.
"Even the tea made by Boss Yuan is so good. What kind of chicken does the egg come from?" Someone asked curiously.
"I think it's definitely not ordinary. Maybe it's the egg of the Egg Fried Rice." Immediately, another person answered.
"Indeed. The taste of the egg is definitely not ordinary. Not only does it not have any fishy smell, but it also carries its own fragrance. I really don't know how Boss Yuan made it." While saying that, another person started to savor the taste of the Egg Fried Rice.
On the other side, the grandpa just couldn't bring himself to eat the Herbal Tea Egg. Not until he finished the Clear Broth Noodle Soup did he feel more spirited. Then, he started to prepare to taste the Herbal Tea Egg. As for the waste of the Herbal Tea Egg, it was impossible for him to vent his anger on Yuan Zhou.
Not to mention the price, for the sake of the Keemun black tea, the grandpa would eat up the Herbal Tea Egg without any hesitation.
The Herbal Tea Egg was extraordinarily conspicuous in the plate with a white background. Underneath the perfectly round chicken egg was the dark brown and glossy broth, which emitted the fragrance of tea. However, when smelling it up close, there wasn't any fragrance of the egg at all.
The broken eggshell unexpectedly looked neat and orderly. The grandpa reached out and peeled the eggshell gently. At that time, the fragrance of the egg itself mixed with the fragrance of the tea drifted out …
